Unclassed Choropleth Maps


The unclassed choropleth map to the left is one that shows fertility rates in Europe. However, because it is an unclassed choropleth map, the shading of other countries fertility rates are directly related to the country with the highest fertility rate....which sets the shade so to speak.

Standardized Choropleth Map



The standardized choropleth map to the left was found at the BBC website. It was described as a population density map. It shows the average density across regions.

Its URL is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/bitesize/standard/geography/population/distribution_density_rev3.shtml

DOQQ


The DOQQ map to the left is pointing to the Department of Conservancy in Sacramento, California. DOQQ maps are so highly praised for their degree of accuracy that older paper maps are being proved to be incorrect.

DRG



This DRG is of "Crater Lake West" and "Crater Lake East" in Oregon. This DRG was obtained by utilizing the DEM and DLG (previously posted) of this same crater lake.








DLG



The image to the left is a road DLG of "Crater Lake West" and "Crater Lake East" in Oregon. The Road DLG was apparently obtained by being draped over the previously published DEM of the same crater.

DEM


The DEM to the left is of "Crater Lake West" and "Crater Lake East" taken in Oregon. This image was actually created by overlapping multiple images capture by a program called the DLGV32 Viewer.

Bilateral Graph


Lorenz curve


The Lorenze curve to the left was done by PennState. This curve is based on a country with a apparent unequal distribution of income. One of the most powerful things that this reveals is how rapidly the corruption increases at the highest percentage of the income population.

Index Value Plot


The graph to the left is an index value plot. It was a division under direction of the New Mexican government plotting their stream flow (water) index. This graph shows almost ten years of their flow index, and therefore allows the viewer to have a pretty good idea of what the average water flow index is.

Isopleths


The isopleth graph to the left is an ozone isopleth created by individuals concerned about the pollution levels of North Carolina. It was created by using a computer model based on ChemTest.

Isopach



The map to the left is an isopach map that was created, mainly, by the use of a computer. This is an isopach of a small gas field. The viewer is able to see the thickness and type of ground that must be gone through in order to obtain this raw material.

Isohyets


The isohyet to the left is from the Hong Kong observatory in 2003. It was/is used to gauge the rainfall distribution in millimeters.

Isotachs


To the left is an Isotach image that was created July 29, 1997 in (and for) Austria. This was taken from a website that actually is for meteorologists in Austria.

Cartographic Animations



The cartographic animation to the left, when seen in motion, shows the air temperature from 1959 through 1997. This was created, or at least published, by The University of Oregon in March of 2000. What the viewer can see is an actual progression of all the months of all the years that this study contains data for.

Correlation Matrix


This is a gene to gene correlation matrix for a subset of 100 cancer genes. "Thick lines indicate blocks: A for extracellular matrix; B for nucleus and cell progression; C for actin cytoskeleton; D for fatty acid metabolism and E for glutamine/glutathioine/oxidative." (www.livestockgenomics.csiro.au/Genome_to_Phenome/)

Similarity Matrix


This similarity matrix is using genotypes in a matrix system, and can therefore highlight specific strain similarities and abnormalities. Two strains of DNA were used in order to compile the data.

Stem & Leaf Plot



This is a back-to-back stem and leaf plot/graph. It is showing that one graph can be made from two different sets of data simply by keeping the numbers that do not change in the middle. For example, this graph shows pulse rate before and after exercise, but the middle numbers can be maintained, and therefore only one graph is needed instead of two.

Population Profile


This population profile is also a choropleth map. These two maps show the percentage of white/black population households in Brooklyn, NY. This is a data copulated map so that the government in Brooklyn, NY, can know the demographics for different things that it will need to use in order to dole out need based programs.

Scatterplot


This scatter plot is an example of yeast cells and their genes. What they, specifically, have done is plotted a controlled group against a default group of cells. By plotting these datas together, but in different colors, it helps the user see the differences in the intensities really well.

Black & White Aerial Photo


Infrared Aerial Photo



An Infrared aerial photo can loosely be described as "Photography in which an infrared optical system projects an image directly on infrared film, to provide a record of point-to-point variations in temperature of a scene." (answers.com). The photo to the left is an infrared photograph taken of Grover Island, and the colors clearly show that the top of the island/middle of the island (which is only 1.4 miles across...from east to west) seems to have the most activity/heat.
